All you Nissan ( especially GT-R ) owners should read an article in Autoweek magazine , on how Nissan and BIG BROTHER are spying on your driving habits by using new developed electronic data recorders (EDRs), and vehicle status data recorder (VSDR) . All you guys who like to drive fast in your cars "TAKE NOTICE" .

Dude, that has nothing to do with big brother, it has more to do with warranty than anything else. It is in place to keep people from abusing the warranty when they damage the vehicle with mods or racing. Besides Ferrari has had a similar system for years.

Nissan uses the "black box " on the GTR for warranty purposes. it records 40 hrs of data. It can see if the vehicle was abused when the problem occured. And it can see the launch mode. Also they can see ALL ECM programs inserted AND removed from the ecm...... it keeps a log on all activities.
